Mexico - Episode 285 - The Knitmore Girls

Listen here:

This week's episode is sponsored by:

Abstract Fiber's got a new luxe club! May through August, we'll send you one or two skeins of luxury yarns. Sock to lace weights, some in new colors, and some new yarns. Don't you deserve a special treat every month?

The Lo-Lo Bar handmade with love was born flat and placed in a can. Users either pop the bar out and apply it head-to-toe or smash the bar into the recyclable container applying the oils and butters with fingertips. Either way, hydrated soft skin is the result. But now the bar has been raised. Standing tall in a clear tube at 5 inches and weighing a full 2 ounces, Bar-Maids introduces the Lo-Lo Twist. Though popping and smashing are not options with the Twist, it is ideal if you want absolute precision (engineers and quilters take note) in application and is especially helpful if needing an extension while reaching for far away places like ankles (funny how bending and stretching at some point becomes a challenge). Just plain convenient and available in the (current) top 6 scents. Bar-Maids invites you to do the Twist!
